...positivist art about modern life based on classical principles. A whole range of artists, from Piero della Francesca to Manet, are implicit in his image in praise of skilled labor, The Constructors, 1950. Perhaps the show's most moving and nuanced postwar tribute to sculpture's classical past is Henri Laurens' Morning, 1944. A bronze woman awakening: it ought to be an idyllic image. But it is not, because the massive post-Cubist forms of her limbs suggest stress, a heavy, invisible load to which the energy locked in the figure responds...

Relying on a filmsy premise and marred by silly synthesized pseudo-rap, "Mrs. Matisse" tries to recount Henri's beleaguered wife's tale of woe but ends up sounding silly. "Opposing Views," featuring chicken and egg talk-show guests seems a waste of all the work which undoubtedly went into it. With so much time to spend thinking about it, getting beyond the first joke shouldn't be so hard for an animator...
